Chapter 92: Chapter 92 - 75: Ye Chen’s Favor, Advancement Before the Assessment [5K]_3
Fortunately, with the help of her sister Wen Ya in dealing with the visiting individuals, Wen Jiu wasn’t worried about them bothering him at the Land of Death.
After all, his sister Wen Ya had served as a servant for some time, learning to read people’s expressions and knowing what to say to whom.
However, despite this, his sister Wen Ya was still very anxious, as all the visitors were people sent by various elders.
In the past, the elders were always aloof and distant.
Yet now they were proactively inviting the siblings to a feast, seeking good relations, making it feel like a dream to her.
However, Wen Ya was well aware that all of this stemmed from her brother’s strength. If he didn’t have that strength, who would care? So she took it upon herself to block all those who wanted to find Wen Jiu.
Meanwhile, Wen Jiu returned to the Land of Death, taking deep breaths of its decaying, cold corpse air with satisfaction.
Only the Land of Death feels comfortable.
After reaching the center of the Land of Death, Wen Jiu began to continue his ghost cultivation and ghost nurturing.
Simultaneously, Wen Jiu also placed the giant python of the late stage of Qi Cultivation into the Corpse Eye.
That giant python also had the strength of the late stage of Qi Cultivation, comparable to a Tier One Superior demon beast. If refined into corpse blood, it would be significant.
Indeed, that proved to be the case.
Even though Wen Jiu had stepped into the Qi Cultivation Third Layer, and the Yin Technique in his dantian had long since multiplied several times, he still could not completely refine the python’s body into corpse blood, leaving less than eighty-five percent.
However, even refining just fifteen percent with the Corpse Eye yielded ten pounds of corpse blood, comparable to the total amount nurtured from ten Tier One Lower demon beasts. And this ten pounds of corpse blood was far more remarkable than that derived from Tier One Lower demon beasts.
Upon careful sensing, Wen Jiu could feel the violent energy contained within, far beyond the previous corpse blood.
"No wonder it’s a Tier One Superior demon beast."
Wen Jiu was quite delighted.
Judging from the current situation, that Tier One Superior python could yield at least one hundred and twenty pounds of corpse blood, and its exceptional quality would certainly bring a tremendous boost to the Three Evil Corpses and the Blood Transformation Body.
With this thought, Wen Jiu immediately had the Three Evil Corpses consume the ten pounds of corpse blood. As soon as it swallowed, Wen Jiu could feel the aura of the Three Evil Corpses surge abruptly and continue for a while before stabilizing.
Previously, a single pound of corpse blood from a Tier One Lower demon beast could enhance the Black Corpse by fifty points and also boost the Blood Transformation Body by twenty points. How much improvement could this ten pounds bring to the Three Evil Corpses?
With anticipation, Wen Jiu waited until midnight.
[Daily Settlement Panel Lv2 (176/1000)]
[Today’s Settlement!]
[Spent six hours absorbing corpse air and death air in the Land of Death, panel experience +1, corpse air +10, death air +10]
[In the Land of Death, nurtured with ten pounds of high-quality corpse blood, supplemented by the Corpse Nourishing Spell, low-grade Corpse Nourishing Pearl for twelve hours, and Corpse Nurturing Coffin for the Three Evils Corpse Nurturing for six hours, panel experience +1, gained corpse nurturing experience +500, +3, +12, Corpse Nurturer experience +2, Blood Transformation Body experience +400.]
[Cultivated Gu Insects for twelve hours, panel experience +1, Gu Insect experience +24.]
"It’s still only fifty points." Wen Jiu naturally didn’t think that the experience from different quality corpse blood would be the same.
What surprised him was the significant drop in corpse blood experience discount after the Black Corpse transformed into the Three Evil Corpses. However, the experience gain in the Blood Transformation Body from corpse blood increased significantly.
Originally, a single pound of corpse blood could only provide twenty points of experience for the Blood Transformation Body, but after transforming into the Three Evil Corpses, not only was it not reduced, it doubled, much to Wen Jiu’s surprise.
So,
The body of that Tier One Superior python should suffice to elevate the Three Evil Corpses from the Lower Realm to the Middle Realm, and the Blood Transformation Body could advance from the Fourth Layer to the Fifth Layer.
His strength would surge again before the assessment.
By then, even showing only thirty percent of his strength should yield impressive results in the assessment.
Perhaps it would satisfy Elder Ye.
Putting his thoughts aside, Wen Jiu opened his personal information panel, preparing to upgrade Three Rivers Ghost Concealment and Blood Corpse Escape. The significant gains this time could be attributed in no small part to these two skills.
[Black Zombie Skills: Blood Transformation Body Fourth Layer (460+/3000) Ghost Skill: Three Rivers Ghost Concealment First Layer (0/500) + Blood Corpse Escape (First Layer 0/500) +]
[Corpse Air Surplus: 1121]
Without hesitation, Wen Jiu clicked the plus sign on Three Rivers Ghost Concealment and Blood Corpse Escape.
[Corpse Air -500]
[Corpse Air -500]
[Black Zombie Skills: Blood Transformation Body Fourth Layer (460+/3000) Ghost Skill: Three Rivers Ghost Concealment Second Layer (0/1000) + Blood Corpse Escape (Second Layer 0/1000) +]
Although the accumulated corpse air was instantly depleted, Wen Jiu didn’t mind, eager to try out the Three Rivers Ghost Concealment.
As expected, the concealment duration of Three Rivers Ghost Concealment increased again, reaching two hundred breaths.
Though it was only an increase of dozens of breaths, to Wen Jiu, it was enough to accomplish many tasks.
When escaping, flying on the Three Evil Corpses, dozens of breaths would be enough to cover several miles.
Moreover, the corpse air consumption per use didn’t increase, and the forced second use of Three Rivers Ghost Concealment shortly afterward still cost only ten percent of the corpse air.
This was undoubtedly the greatest surprise.
Next, Wen Jiu tried out Blood Corpse Escape, and to his amazement, its range actually doubled.
Now reaching ten miles.
Unlike Three Rivers Ghost Concealment, the corpse air consumption for Blood Corpse Escape increased to about twenty percent.
However, the confidence it brought to Wen Jiu was much more than twenty percent.
Not to mention, faced with someone of late stage of Qi Cultivation, if he wanted to flee, who could catch him?
Ten miles at a time.
Repeated three or four times.
Followed by another Three Rivers Ghost Concealment.
Where would you find someone?
"A doubled sense of security!"
Wen Jiu smiled with satisfaction.
After glancing at the moonlight, Wen Jiu felt too lazy to go home, heading straight back to the Land of Death to continue refining the giant python’s body.
Early the next morning, Wang Nian rushed to the Land of Death with the assessment news—three days later.
The initial trial would take place on Feixian Peak, selecting the top ten.
Ten days later, the real assessment would occur at the main peak, where qualifiers from all surrounding peaks of Deadman Peak would compete again.
The announcement also specifically reminded everyone that the main peak’s assessment had a high risk of death, urging all disciples to be mentally prepared.
[The second update today might be around 12 midnight.
Sorry.]
